I dislike "we shouldn't fund millionaires' ed" for the same broad rhetorical reasons I don't like "Abolish billionaires." It's not b/c I care about millionaires or billionaires, it's b/c I think our rhetorical frames should focus on how/why we want to help people who need help.

If it's true that a candidate believes that free college for all would place an undue burden on the middle class for funding the upper class's education, the candidate should just say that. That's an important distinction. "We don't want to pay for millionaire's kids" isn't one.

These are not pro-Billionaire or pro-Millionaire tweets. Rather, I am arguing that our rhetoric should focus on who we want to help and how we are going to help them. We shouldn't focus on who we don't want to help.

Oh, and by the way, I don't want to pay for millionaires' kids to go to school on a personal level. I find the idea irritating. But, if it worked out that a universal approach would be an overall net benefit for *other* families, I would be happy to pay those taxes

I haven't been convinced one way or another. I certainly think college needs to be more affordable & I'm open to it being free. I want us to look at the whole picture and figure out how to make it work (WHILE ALSO FOCUSSING ON PRE-L, K-12, and TRADE SCHOOL)
